Ethyl Glucuronide (EtG) is a unique biological metabolite that is formed in the body after the consumption of ethanol, typically from drinking alcoholic beverages. Reported to be detectable in urine typically from 8-80 hours after ingestion, and 2-36 hours in blood EtG is detectable over a period roughly 5-6 times longer than traditional urine ethanol testing Detectable in oral fluid only a few hours longer than ethanol* EtG has also been isolated in hair follicles *G.Heiseth, B.

Metabolites form when your body metabolizes (breaks down) alcohol. The two most common metabolites that a test looks for are Ethyl Sulfate (EtS) and Ethyl glucuronide (EtG). EtS stays in your system for about 24 hours after the last alcohol use. EtG stays in your system for about 80 hours. The most common test if for EtG because it can be detected much longer. Your test was well within 80 hours. So, yes, the urine test will probably show alcohol use if you drank at 8:30 pm on Saturday and you were tested Monday afternoon.
